SACRAMENTO –Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) today announced he has introduced legislation, AB 1585, to assist local communities following the effective elimination of redevelopment agencies in California on February 1.
"The Assembly wants to provide options for communities after the elimination of redevelopment agencies," Pérez said. "AB 1585 provides some tools and answers that will help communities as they pursue economic development and affordable housing for Californians."
Assemblymember Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), who has been working with Speaker Pérez to identify post-RDA solutions, noted that the legislation is part of an overall effort to find ways to retain some of the benefits of RDAs, such as affordable housing and brownfield cleanup.
"We anticipate many more discussions with our local communities about how to move forward in the post-RDA era," Atkins said. "The answers contained in the Speaker's bill fill in some of the pieces to that puzzle and we will continue to work toward solutions for others."
Provisions of the Speaker's bill include:
Affordable Housing Funds and Responsibilities
- Enact provisions of SB 8X (vetoed) to permit retention of Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds.
- Include an incentive to ensure that Low and Moderate Income Housing funds are actually used for low and moderate income housing within a reasonable period of time.
Repayment of City or County Loans to RDAs
- Enact provisions of SB 8X to include repayments for startup loans for each project area and for SERAF loans.
- Provide limited discretion to oversight boards to consider authorizing repayment of other city or county loans, potentially including loans beyond the two-year cut-off.
Governmental Purpose Assets
- Clarify that existing language that transfers of assets that were constructed and used for a governmental purpose be "pursuant to any existing agreement relating to the construction and use of such an asset" is not a requirement that there be such an agreement, only that the oversight board follow its terms if there is one.
- Provide limited discretion to the oversight boards to consider other transfers when they are integrally related to, or necessary to the operation of, an existing governmental purpose facility, such as a parking structure integral to a governmental purpose facility.
Disposal of Other RDA Property and Assets
- Require the oversight board to obtain an inventory of a former RDA's assets before directing the successor agency to dispose of non-financial, real property assets.
- Require disposals of assets to be done in a manner that, to the extent possible, preserves the asset value.
Scope and Financing of Enforceable Obligations
- Clarify that bonds can be issued to meet payment requirements for enforceable obligations under limited circumstances.
City Redevelopment Employee Obligations
- Clarify that costs incurred to fulfill collective bargaining agreements for layoffs or terminations of city employees who were directly performing work on behalf of the RDA are enforceable obligations that will be paid from property tax funds.
Uneven Bond Payments
- Clarify that the semi-annual property tax allocations provided in AB 26X take bond payment cash-flow need into account.
Oversight Board Labor Member
- Enact narrow conflict-of-interest exception contained in SB 8X to allow labor member participation.
- Clarify the appropriate city employee organization from which the labor member is to be appointed in cases where city employees functioned as redevelopment staff.
Administrative Cost Ceiling
- Authorize oversight boards to approve temporary increases in the administrative cost allowance to carry out the requirements of an enforceable obligation, to cover litigation costs, or to maintain and preserve the value of assets while in the possession of the successor agency.

Austin >Sporting Goods >
Outdoors >Zilker Park
2100 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX | Directions 7874630.265800 -97.766200
Daily 5am-10pm
Neighborhoods: South Lamar, Barton Hills
Doesn't this picture say it all? For one magical week in December (December 16-23 this year, 2012), Zilker Park turns into the Trail of Lights, a display of colored bulb glory and wonder in the middle of 78704. And the best part? It's free!
I absolutely love Zilker park. It's a great place to walk, come with your friends, your kids, your family, your dogs, your team...Dogs don't have to be on a leash, but since it's not a dog run, you can sit and chill with your dog and your friends with out any problem. Great for a game of soccer, frisbee, or catch. I think I saw two separate soccer games and a few frisbee groups out there today. It's a great place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful Austin weather. Also has a water fountain for dogs up behind the rocks
Austin's 400-acre crown jewel, featuring beautiful gardens, outdoor concerts and plenty of room for fun in the sun. – In Short
Just a stone's throw from downtown, this is the place for hiking, canoeing, picnicking and more outdoor activities. Kites color the sky at the annual kite festival and little goblins trick-or-treat around the grounds on Halloween. At Christmas, walk the Trail of Lights or take a spin under the famous Zilker Tree. Sports enthusiasts enjoy sand volleyball courts and soccer and rugby fields. The Botanical Gardens offer walking paths and the beautiful Taniguchi Oriental Garden.
Great for Kids and Adults – The only problem I have with Zilker is that the playground is extremely small for such a large park not to mention the abundance of traffic.The park doesn't have a seesaws, not enough swings, merry go round etc... While I've noticed that most parks have done away with the things mentioned above it seems that there would be other things in place of them. I do love that they have an operating train for the kids and beautiful scenery which almost makes up for the flaws noted.
Everything – I like how you can do pretty much everything here: hike, bike, swim, play sports, barbecue, ride a train--you name it. It's also the perfect spot to park your car and jump on the Lake Austin trail.
One Stop Shop for Fun – This park has many activities to choose from. Go for a swim at Barton Springs, rent a canoe on Town Lake or check out the Botanical Gardens. There is no way to get bored. It's a popular place so make sure to get out their early on the weekends to get a good spot and parking.

The three players who lost playoff majors to Tiger Woods share the bond of taking the world's best golfer to the very brink.
They remain cherished memories for the three…and belt notches for Tiger.
Bob May, Chris DiMarco and Rocco Mediate can go to their resting bunkers knowing they made Woods work overtime on the course of his insatiable quest toward Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors.
Woods enters this week's U.S. Open at Merion still stuck on No. 14 at the fifth anniversary of his epic Torrey Pines win over Mediate.
May extended Woods three extra holes at the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, DiMarco lost an azalea-breaker at the 2005 Masters and Mediate pushed Woods to 19 extra frames at the 2008 U.S. Open.
This second-place club, maybe over a beverage with Tiger, would love to sit down and talk about the experience. And that's apparently going to happen over Tiger's dead body.
DiMarco understood perfectly as he watched the Golf Channel episode of "Feherty" in which Mediate described trying to get Woods to sign some memorabilia to commemorate his epic playoff battle.
Mediate recalled sticking a manila folder in Woods' locker at the Players Championship containing a post-match picture from the Open and the pin sheet used for the Monday playoff.
Rocco hoped Tiger would sign something personal that could someday be shown to his grandkids.
Something like, "Nice try, old man, but I didn't have a leg to stand on … and still beat you!"
Woods didn't sign the pin sheet and offered only a rubber-stamped autograph on the photo.
"Why wouldn't he just mess with me?" Mediate asked.
Mediate said he tossed Woods' autographed picture in the trash can.
DiMarco knew exactly how Mediate felt.
"I was thinking, 'That's just Tiger,'" DiMarco reflected during a recent phone interview. "For Rocco, that was a goose-bump moment. For Tiger, it was just another moment."
History will reflect May, DiMarco and Mediate almost won "the Big One" that Woods has won 14 times.
"It probably didn't mean as much to him," Mediate said in advance of the 2009 U.S. Open.
May never won a PGA Tour event in the U.S., his promising career cut short by a back injury. DiMarco has had a nice run, with three Tour wins, and had other solid performances in majors. He and Justin Leonard lost the 2004 PGA Championship in a playoff to Vijay Singh.
Mediate is a six-time PGA Tour winner and back-pain sufferer who now slugs it out on the Champions Tour.
May, DiMarco and Mediate won't be playing at Merion this week.

Post subject: Star Wars Read Day 2012 Chattanooga, TN
On October 4, 2012, I had the honor to represent the Corellian Base at West View Elementary School Star Wars Reading Day. Arriving at 10:30AM and meet up with our brother and sisters in the 501st Legion's Mid south Garrison Mos Nooga Squad. I change very fast for I got there right before the event started because of a prior engagement. After getting my Jedi costume all the costumers proceeded to head to the six different classrooms. After we stepped inside the classroom the faces of awe was all over the faces of each of the classrooms. For when we enter each of the classroom the teacher allowed the students to ask questions. The younglings were very inquisitive and they wanted to know a lot. The children wanted to know about my light saber so I held it while each child looked and touch the button to activated it. I keep the emitter cover so no child would be blinded by the beam of light, which would not be good if they were blinded by the light of the light saber. However, the Jedi was very popular. After we answer questions in each of the class those of us who had cards we pass them out and many of the children asked if we would autograph them, and I was more then happy to sign my cards for the young ones. Around 12:15 PM we concluded our visit and the school gave us a free lunch. A huge thank you to the forth grade teachers, staff, and students of West View Elementary School for allowing us into their school to bring Star Wars to Life for these younglings. We were also videoed by one of the local news stations once it airs I will place the video up.

Police investigate gas station robberyJanuary 28,2014Police investigate
gas station robbery
Vermont State Police investigated a robbery early Monday morning at the Exit 4 Sunoco gas station and convenience store in Dummerston.
Police said around 1:30 a.m., a man went into the store on Route 5 and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk at first refused, but after being threatened, turned over money, police said.
The robber then fled the store with about $100 in cash, according to police.
The robber was described as a white man, between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with an average build. He was wearing a black knitted cap pulled down over his face with eye holes cut into it. He was also wearing a blue winter jacket with a white horizontal stripe across the front and back.
Police said no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 234-9933.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

Version 2.2.23 — $29 — Requires Mac OS X 10.6+
You be the Director
Screenflick records anything shown on your screen. Record a movie of yourself creating an artistic masterpiece in Photoshop, or record a training video to teach someone how to use new software. Screenflick 2 is even plenty fast enough to record the latest 3D games.
Beyond the Screen
Screenflick can tap into user events like key presses and mouse clicks and highlight them in the movies you create. This is extremely useful for training videos and video podcasts, or wherever you use keyboard shortcuts. And of course, their appearance is customizable.
Live Scaling
Just because Screenflick can record your screen at its full resolution, doesn't mean you need to! For times when you want to record fullscreen but export at a lower resolution, you can now record at a smaller scale, saving precious CPU time and disk space.
Multiple Exports
Export movies multiple times at different scales and qualities. Record a movie once and create small low quality movies, large high quality movies, and even export to different file formats, without having to use another program.
Fast Recordings
Screenflick 2 contains an all-new recording engine which can capture large resolutions at high speed and high quality. By taking advantage of the the pixel-hungry graphics processor and multiple processor cores, Screenflick 2 attains outstanding performance when recording even the most demanding scenes on your Mac.
Time-Lapse Movies
Show off your hours-worth-of-work in a minutes-long movie. Record a movie at a super low frame rate and then speed it up on export to create time-lapse movies. Perfect for exhibiting your digital art skills.
Export Presets
In Screenflick 2 you can create presets for your video, audio, keyboard, and mouse options. Fine tune your settings and save them as a preset, so you can use them later in a snap.
Export Movie Formats
Screenflick creates QuickTime movies, but it also creates Flash f4v movies, movies formatted specifically for iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs, MPEG files, and can export to any other format, such as Windows Media, using any QuickTime plugins.
Microphone & System Audio
Screenflick captures live audio from the microphone of your choice, and all audio playing on your Mac. Silent movies are a thing of the past.
Pause & Resume
Sometimes life interrupts you, or you just need to take a break. When recording with Screenflick, it's not a problem; pausing the recording is a simple key-combo away. Simply press it again, and the recording continues right where you left off. No post-editing required.
Screen Camera Modes
Not only can you record the entire screen, but you can also record a specific area of the screen, keeping your movie focused as well as saving processing power for other applications and disk space. When recording an area smaller than the screen, you can also choose to have the "camera" smoothly follow the mouse cursor.
Recording Preview
Before exporting your screen recording, you can preview the movie with all of the keyboard and mouse options. Start, stop and scrub through your video with audio playback as well.
Smaller Recordings
Screenflick 2 impressively improves recording speed, but it does while also dramatically reducing the amount of disk space used by recordings. Even when recording four times as many frames per second, Screenflick 2 reduces the recording sizes by as much as an astounding 11x!
Watermarking & Metadata
Put your stamp on it. Before exporting your movie, you can drop in an image to "watermark" your movie so everybody knows you created it. You can also add metadata tags which will be embedded into the movie file.
Keyboard Options
Choose how to show keyboard events so viewers can see shortcuts/commands and other key presses.
Export Formats
While QuickTime .mov files are supported on every Mac, sometimes you need to target your recording for iOS devices, Flash, Windows, or just a specific movie format.
Not sure you need to upgrade? Here are a few key reasons why you will want to:
Lion Compatibility
Changes in Mac OS X Lion forced all screen recording programs to be rewritten, and although Screenflick 1.6.15 works for now, to ensure Screenflick keeps on ticking you'll need to move over to Screenflick 2 which is fully Lion compatible and future-proof.
Big Disk Space Savings
Recordings in 1.6 that were long, high resolution, and had a high capture rate, could end up being very large pretty quickly. Screenflick 2's new recording engine saves over 10x times the disk space, and reduces the performance impact on the rest of the system in high demand situations.
Higher Capture Rates
Version 2 has an all-new recording engine which can record many more frames per second than Screenflick 1.6. Although 1.6 was fast and efficient at recording normal desktop usage, it wasn't optimal for recording 3D games and video. Version 2 on the other hand, records 4x the frames per second, while using less disk space too.
Features and Refinement
Beyond the critical things above, Screenflick 2 has many new features and refinements over 1.6 which make it better in every single way. Once you use it, you'll understand why you need to have it.
Big Performance Increases
Screenflick 2 has byte-sipping disk usage while greatly boosting recording performance.
Comparison to Screenflick 1.6 with full screen recording of 3D game running at 1680x1050 on 2008 Mac Pro.
If you bought Screenflick 1.6 on or after April 1, 2011, you qualify for a free license key for Screenflick 2. Enter your order number and email address below, and you will instantly receive your license key. If needed, we can help you find your order number.
I don't have Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Can I still buy Screenflick 1.6?
Sure. Although 1.6 is no longer under development, if you need Screenflick 1.6 to run on Tiger (10.4) or Leopard (10.5), you can find the download link at the bottom of this page. Try it out and make sure it does what you need it to do. To purchase a license for it, go ahead and buy Screenflick 2 and then email us to retrieve your license for 1.6. This way you'll have a license for 2.x as well, which you can use when you do eventually move to 10.6 or later.
How do I record Skype calls?
It's easy! You can read an explanation here.
Why is the video dark when I record a game like "Amnesia"?
It's darker because the gamma alters the display's gamma. You just need to change the brightness in Screenflick. Read this for an explanation.
Why do I see a white and grey checkerboard when recording DVDs?
This is OS X's DRM at work. Read this for an explanation and work around.
Why isn't audio from this application being recorded?
When you start a recording with system audio turned on, Screenflick switches the system-wide default audio output device to the "Soundflower" virtual audio device, which Screenflick then uses as an input to record audio from. Some programs unfortunately will play all audio over a specific output device determined when the application launched rather than always using the current system setting which can lead to problems like this.
What needs to happen is the program playing audio needs to decide that it should play that audio to the Soundflower device, rather than your speakers. There are two ways this can happen.
You can read an in-depth explanation here.
How do I make my exported movie file size smaller?
The file size of the resulting movies is completely dependent on the video compression settings you choose for the export. Screenflick assumes you have some knowledge of them because there are a lot of choices and trade offs for various applications, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, for a one-size-fits-most guideline, you can stick to using QuickTime exporter, selecting H.264 video compression, 96kbps AAC for audio compression, and use the "Quality" slider to determine the movie quality and thus, movie size.
You can read an in-depth explanation here.
How can I get better recording performance?
There are three key factors to improving recording performance in Screenflick.
When recording video games or other programs with high performance OpenGL graphics, make sure the game has V-Sync turned on. With V-Sync off, the frame rate of the game can go above the maximum of the display (and the chosen recording FPS in Screenflick) which can steal precious GPU processing power away from Screenflick.
When I playback the movie in Screenflick, why does it look choppy?
The movie preview in the export view of Screenflick is a rough preview, and can play back at a lower frame rate than the actual recording. For a true representation of the speed/smoothness of the recording, export it and watch it in QuickTime player.
Where are my old movies from Screenflick 1.6?
Screenflick 2 can't export videos created with version 1.6. If you have some old movies recorded with 1.6, you'll need to keep a copy of it around to export and then delete them when you're done with them. If you've deleted 1.6 already you can grab it again below.
If you need to grab an older version of Screenflick for some reason, you can do that here.

Megyn Kelly Slams Erick Erickson for Views on Women, Earning Powerby Hilton Hater at .
Megyn Kelly has joined her Fox News colleague in calling out two other Fox News colleagues.
Earlier this week, Lou Dobbs and Erick Erickson reacted in horror to a Pew survey that reported how prominent a role female breadwinners are playing in the country these days.
Erickson argued that the results are "anti-science" and that the male ought to play the "dominant role" in a family... while "having moms as the primary breadwinner is bad for kids and bad for marriage."
Following Greta Van Susteren's Tweeting shock and outrage over such comments, Megyn Kelly invited Dobbs and Erickson on her show today - and let them have it!
Safe to say the following exchange is a TKO, don't you think?
Where do you stand? Are an abundance of female breadwinners bad for the country?

The Womans movement made a lot of great strides but also made some mistakes. But in the very beginning woman and men were meant to be equal...No one sex greater than the other. So you are wrong for that. And you'd know better if you had a decent mother who was strong enough to show you that. And a father who understood that women are equal in every way to men. And if you don't get that, then you are fucking lost sweetheart. I feel bad for you....and any children you may have. Wife included!"
Every family has to do what's right for them but some men who have sexist ideals still don't like seeing independent women who can take care of their families and work. The men who still believe they are the dominant sex will always be shocked about and against any advancements women make in society. The amazing thing about women is that not only don't most of us care about the idiotic opinions of these types of men anymore, we can still juggle birth, raising kids, taking care of business at home, making an income and holding executive positions. Let the cave men be surprised and get left behind for the rise of a new generation. Real men will bask in their own success and not be threatened by the success of others
I'm guessing it all depends on the definition of success. A large amount of black women are raising kids on their own. A HUGE amount of white women are letting her parents foot the bill. This is not about a woman making it on her own and making more money this is about a woman being the sole influence in child upbringing. To many are interested in " IS HE HOT- or IS HE GOOD IN BED or how much money does he have? What people need to look at is... Will he go the distance- will he work thru adversity! This is what you can't make a call on when your 16 or 19? The majority of single parents come from single parent families and of course the trend continues and who foots the bill? Taxpayer- IT'S A FACT!
Maybe the point is this!! Fact is more and more women are the sole supporter because they have no choice. Out of wedlock babies. Useless no child support paying daddies. Anytime you are taking the Mother out of the House and using her to play Daddy&Mommy there is a problem. To many males don't wont RESPONSIBILTY and to many stupid women only figure it out AFTER the damage has been done. In 20 years these one parent children will bear the fruit of not knowing how to commit to a damn thing. It's irresponsible and it's down right criminal to subject a child or a society to this lack of accountability. This in itself has a lot to do with this NANNY NATION we have become. Get off your God Damn Womens Lib Bullshit and look at the big picture. Must be 15 ways a woman can keep from getting pregnant and still they seem to pull it off! Family unit? Mom and Dad living under 1 roof? To much to ask?
Yes sometimes women choose the wrong types of men and men likewise may chose the wrong types of women for them.
Not all women stupidly just go out and get knocked up. Some actually fall in love, they are in committed relationships and then have kids. Sometimes later down the line people split up and the relationship fails, the woman is left caring for the kids because women are usually the best caregivers. It isn't the fault of all women that men don't take care of their kids, it is the mans! Some people really try to make it work. Some get married and then when the divorce dust settles some dads become non existent dead beats. People change through relationship, someone you thought had potential as a father may turn into a dead beat dad later on because he decides he doesn't want the responsibility of the relationship and the kids, but it is so easy to blame women for the shortcomings of men isn't it?
Most women can work and take care of their kids and if a man doesn't want the responsibility maybe he should have kept it in his pants. There are also a lot of ways for a man to ensure he doesn't impregnate a women, but some are so focused on sex they don't think. It takes two to have a baby the women can take birth control but it is still up to the man to ensure he is covered as well. Men can't expect to just go around having all the sex they want and not take ANY responsibility for a pregnancy.

Our savory cauliflower puree makes a perfect low-carb stand-in for mashed potatoes. It gets its fabulous flavor from garlic, buttermilk and a touch of butter and, best of all, it has about one-quarter of the calories of typical mashed potatoes. If you like, vary it by adding shredded low-fat cheese or chopped fresh herbs.

A light bulb lit up over Jay Fortgang's head last spring when he read an article in the San Jose Mercury News about someone who was helping bankrupt dot-coms liquidate their hardware. Since hotels typically issue credits for cash deposits on canceled meetings, and companies often can't use them before they expire in six to eight months, why not provide a similar service for companies that want to liquidate the "assets" of their canceled meetings?
No newcomer to great ideas (he opened the first espresso shop in Seattle), Fortgang founded MyHotelBroker (www.myhotelbroker.com). The company finds firms that need to unload hotel credits and potential buyers who can use the credits before they expire. The service is different than the usual hot dates/hot rates programs because the deal takes place after the meeting dates have come and gone, and after liquidated damages have been paid.
"The hotels were hesitant about transferring the credit at first because they weren't sure about the quality of the client they'd be getting, and what the terms and conditions would be," says Fortgang, adding that he's had to do more educating on the hotel side than he'd originally expected. He squelches hotelier doubts by making it clear that neither the hotel nor the buyer is obligated until there is a mutual agreement. "The credit isn't transferred until there is a final contract that incorporates the credit between the hotel and the buyer," says Fortgang. The original credit-holder is free to use the credit or find its own buyer up until the very moment the credit is transferred. "I've had success with hotels that originally said flat-out no. Now, they're not just accepting the credits, they're also accepting extensions on the credits.
"It's a win-win-win," says Fortgang. "The original credit holder gets some money back on a credit that otherwise would have been a wash, the buyer gets a 40 to 60 percent discount, and the hotel gets business it wouldn't have had otherwise." And don't forget the fourth winner: Fortgang buys the credit at 10 to 25 percent of its retail value, and resells it at 40 to 60 percent; his cut is the difference between the buy and sell prices.
Extra Credit
"It worked for a charm for us," says a meetings and events manager for a high-tech communications firm in Sunnyvale, Calif., who prefers to remain anonymous. He brokered two credits through Fortgang's firm: one for $100,000, another for $22,000. "We were just going to let them lapse until Jay called me," he says. "The organization that bought our $100,000 credit got it for $40,000—what's not to like about that?"
"It's a slick process," he says. "We're starting to book more meetings now, and now we're thinking about buying some credits instead of selling them."
The inventory on MyHotelBroker.com at press time was limited mainly to West Coast properties, but Fortgang is looking to expand. "My big push now is to get a corporate hotel chain on board so a credit that's not going to be used in Maui can be applied to New York City," he says, adding that he'd be "amazed" if he doesn't have at least one national chain involved by January.
Fortgang admits that the downturn in the economy has enabled him to establish relationships with both buyers and sellers to a degree that wouldn't have been possible under sunnier circumstances. "Yeah, there's an abundance of credits right now," he says. "I spoke with one five-star hotel in the Midwest that has $8 million in credits this year. Their normal load is 'only' $2 million or so—still, that's a good chunk of change. And that's just one hotel."—Sue Pelletier

Why do you suppose the Anglo-Aussie-American commentariat are incapable of recognizing that Azarenka & Vera Zvonareva HAVE TRADED COACHES? Yeah, we know Antonio van Grichen is now pemanently with Vera & now we clearly see Samuel Sumyk attached to Vika. The mouthpieces note who they are individually but it seems to beg no comment at all.
Well, I'll tell you why: [;)] You knew I was gonna.
They're too busy shierking that Vika speaks English with an American accent and has clearly become a Yank.
Remind you of someone else? [:P]
Gimme a freakin' break. Vika has been in Scottsdale Arizona for not quite four years, mentored by a RUSSIAN HOCKEY STAR & living with his family. That sound like a virtual Yankee to you?
How long will people have to listen to the same threadbare scam before snapping how the commentariat jacks them around.
By last night's match, they were finally yammering about the coach swap--trying to make something negative & divisive of it as always. I don't even feel like repeating their crap.
I guess I'm good with last night's outcome. [^o)] Vera will be bummed 'cause--just like in the match--she still has trouble moving past things. But I felt there was at least a marginal chance that Vika (assuming SHE can keep a grip) might freak Serena, and I just don't see Vera pulling that off right now.
Davaiii, Vika!!! [H] You got on top of the old broad before, you can do it again!
[quote user="paul_pipkin"]
Does she have a chance to beat Serena ?
I'm not sure, would be nice if she could.
Vika continued to play really well, and knows it. Venus edging her out of the second set with net cord luck did not impair Vika's confidence in her game at all. Let's be clear: Venus had to play her BEST tennis to win this match--even Mercer & Croft admitted that.
They have to take Vika very seriously now and, because they've already started the "Amerikan Vika" chorus ("Amerikan Masha" verse two), I'm gonna explode this bullsh!t right now. Consider, Vika is clearly working very well with Sam Sumyk. Now, how tight must she be with Zvonareva to successfully trade coaches?
Right. And Vera is arguably the most ideological of the Russian players. Think about it. [H]
Seen this before? I think it's from around this time last year--the article, I mean. Picture, who knows?
wow.. i thought it was 2-3 yrs ago!(based on the pic.) but [8-)] havent seen this before..
Congrats to Вікторыя Азарэнка, Tsarina of Stanford! [8-|] Not to mention: guys, keep an eye on "Image" postings the next few days. Even on ESPN2--when Vika breaks to 5-1 in the second & goes to dump the remaining ball--skirt-lift with major buttcheek, major, I say! I know someone will post captures of that.
[quote user="giane"][quote user="paul_pipkin"]
LOL.. [:P] but congrats to her..
Congrats to Вікторыя Азарэнка, Belarusian Tsarina of Moscow! Hail to the Union State!
amen! haha.. congrats!!! trophy looks like a GS trophy.... hahaha
well said! with her iron steel and shrieking aplomb, vicci the bella-rus will be number 1
Not fair that noone talks about this girl. She's just won another major title after beating world #2 and #3 on the row. Who can do better right now???
I don't like the way she plays tennis because she's just another hard hitter. I don't appreciate her grunting on the court because it sounds so vulgar and because I always think the women tennis should be all charm and classy to make the difference with men's tennis.
In spite of that, I gotta reckon Victoria Azarenka 100% deserved her win today. She played smart, solid, consistent. Her arms didn't tremble when Sharapova fought back in the 2nd set.
Good she will be ranked #6 next Monday. My hope is that Vika does much better than Wozniacki and takes the #1 with a GS victory!
I can recognize that she played better at this tournament than Masha. She is a good example.
She defeated the stronger tennis players. She surprised Vera with a 6 0. Vera was totally disappointed by the result of the first set. VIKA has the potential of a tennis champion.

On May 11, 2013, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will have a go at beating the Guinness Book of World Record for the world's longest drift, while driving one of the BMW Performance Center's M school cars – a F10 M5.
The attempt will be made on the BMW Performance Center skid pad – the same one used to teach skid techniques at the BMW driving schools. And the factory M5 is one of the most fitting BMW models for this attempt, as its 560hp and 502 lb-ft torque easily breaks the rear end traction of the RWD sedan loose.
The current world's longest drift record which Schwartz have to beat is 19,035 feet (nearly 3.6 miles), set Sept. 30, 2011 in China.

A statement of heritage – IND works on a BMW Individual F10 M5 in Imola Red, a classic BMW M exclusive color.
Hamann showcases its F10 M5 Mi5Sion at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, or what we think might be an M5
To say it's a radical looking kit for the M5 would be an understatement. The Mi5Sion M5 receives widebody fenders that have added 30mm on each side. It has custom front and rear bumpers, carbon fiber trunk spoiler, door handles, and rear diffuser.
The interior features a contrasting black-white theme, with Alpine White and black leather seats to match the exterior and white trims throughout to continue the theme.

On Saturday, February 16, 2013, the M Owners Club of Indonesia (MOCI) held one of their most exciting meet events in Jakarta. The. event was originally scheduled for last month, but due to heavy rain and flooding in some areas in Jakarta.
This newly scheduled event was held as a charity event, with the donations and proceeds going to help the flood affected areas. The event was joined by other car clubs as well, with owners of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and other exotics in attendance and driving in the events.
M5POST member RPiM5 shares with us his direct experience after six months of F10 M5 ownership, compared to his time with the E60 M5 (his car prior to the F10 M5).
by RPiM5:
Best things about the E60 M5:
1. S85 V10 engine! (with aftermarket exhaust, there's almost no equal to the exhaust note. This is even more true if you do aftermarket headers!)
2. Smaller size of E60
3. Lighter weight of E60
4. SMG Transmission (Almost no other transmission can rattle the fillings out of your teeth like S6 mode can!)
5. Adjustable Side Bolsters
6. Active Side Bolsters
7. The option for comfort seats rather than just sport seats.
Worst things about the E60 M5:
1. S85 V10 engine! (reliability!!!)
2. Reliability of everything else … CONTINUED

Per iND provides an update on its F10 M5 project tuning car:
Development of IND's M5 continues, and in this week's update we find our M5 within the bowels of AMS; dyno room. Having logged over 20 hours on the dyno since the installation of a host of AMS-supplied testing and datalogging equipment, we've started to build a knowledge base that will help to make key decisions and allow us to take steps toward our ultimate power goal.
Our M5 was wired with a complete sensor package including:
intake air temperature sensors before and after the coolers
boost pressure sensor at the intake manifold
ambient temperature sensors
intercooler water temp pre and post intercooler
